LOL! Saw this episode late and wasn’t even sure I was allowed to be watching it. I spent the evening hanging out with my friends drinking “Seven and Seven” and placing quarter bets on a B horror movie.

QOTD: For me its probably 65% red and 35% white.

QOTD: I drink about 80% reds, 10% ports, 10% whites from October to May, and 40% white, 20% beer, 10% rose and 30% red during the summer.

Gary, love your show, but twice with Sir Gary is enough for one lifetime. Very witty, but just can’t watch again.

I haven’t seen many kayaks in the Himalayas, have you?

QOTD: Historically 90/10, but lately I have been trying more whites, hmmmm, wonder why that might be??? So we’ll go 70/30.

Gotta love that Cellar Tracker.

P.S. That Sir Gary guy is totally creepy.

Very funny Frazier Crane. You even dimmed the lights for a serious effect.
I wouldn’t mind you can bring this character back once in a while. Next time give him a double-blind taste test. Now release the hounds and make sure they find Gary. I’m sure he left a trail of wristbands in the woods.

Sir Gary, supreme leader of the quintessential wine palate society, you need some knights:

30/70 R/W Not because I am contrarian but because I thrive on the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer. And to those who poo poo whites, German Rieslings are the worst, don’t buy them, if you have to have a white, Charles Shaw Sauvignon Blanc is the way to go. Enjoy

QOTD: I think 85% red (mostly Zin) 15$ white (mix of Sav. Blanc and Riesling) I miss my GV!

The more sir Gary appears the more the viewers appreciate the real cool Gary. We can not tolerate sir Gary more than once a month, please… Good character!!
QOTD: RED (70%) / White (30%)
Cheers

Gary’s so naturally demonstrative and animated….. it must have killed him to act so subdued for the whole take! He was as still as a 95-year-old sitting on a hemorrhoid cushion. Bring back bouncy Gary!

Kevin C nailed it–got to play up that niles angle . . . over-the-top-pretension.

my good man, top o’ the day to you. glad to see you back, sir. the immense complexity and knowledge you bring to the table is without peer (as opposed to that pee-er GV). you need some french/german/italian/austrian classical music to start and end the show (along with a pipe, unlit of course)–the country of origin of the music complementing the origin of the wine of course.

QOTD: 90:10 but trying to bring more balance, sir.

I say, old chap, quite refreshing to have a break from that plebian football hooligan who usually runs this show. I personally find a nice glass of white wine refreshing on the 3rd day or so of a test match. Besides, if someone bumps your arm and spills red wine on your white cricket uniform it just ruins your day. So dreadfully unpleasant, that. It will never do.

Ta, ta for now. Must go chat with the butler about which claret to bring up from the cellar to serve with tonight’s guinea fowl.

Your Brady kid reference made me spit my wine…. FUNNY as hell!

used to be 100-0 red to white. But now it’s 50/50 every time I go out for wine I make myself get one of each and I always buy something i’ve never had before. I can’t tell you how many white’s i’ve found that I love and I never would have given them a chance before.

Sir Gary needs to remove the pole…….. Anyway, QOTD – 95:5 red:white.

Reminds me of Frazier Crane and his snivelling brother, Niles. Those were a bit out of my range but fun to see that great wines are there for some day in the future.

QOTD> Probably 50% red and 50% white – love the NZ SBs and that Alsatian Reisling you put us on was very nice indeed.

Lovin’ the elegance hour! Sir Gary is great. It is time the show added some elegance. Here Here my good man! Bravo! I apologize for using exclamation points, that was not very elegant of me.

So would that be rowing your boat UP the Himalayas or DOWN the Himalayas X-Games Style?

Gary,

Come back. We miss you dearly. While I am sure that Sir G has a role to play in helping himself shape the wine world in his own image, we need you to help us shape the wine world in your (our) image. We love Vay-ner-chuk! Especially on Fridays. Nevertheless, great character acting at a time when I am sure you were feeling no pain. If you plan on inviting Sir G back, do it on Mondays when we are all serious, with our business game face on. I need to feel the Thunder at the end of the week.

QOTD: I am probably 10-15% whites, although that is increasing as I learn to appreciate the non-chardonnay, non-pinot grigio (read generic safty wines) varietals. This summer, I am enjoying some rieslings and sauvignon blancs.

Keep up the great work and welcome home.

John

One of the greatest things in life is to be able to poke fun at yourself…and you have succeeded….congratulations…the cellar runs at about 95% red and 5% white but definitely drinking more whites lately!!!
